The Floating World

Much excitement around my personal and professional campfire. My producing lecturer from the VCA, and now friend, Ros Walker is circling ever nearer to getting her feature film up at last. At least according to Hollywood reporter. Ros is characteristically playing her cards close to her chest on this, but I am hopeful for her because: a/ its a really great story, b/ she really deserves it and c/ its a REALLY great story. Here is the quote from aap wire. Mendelsohn, Colosimo star in new movie Friday May 26 06:16 AEST Ben Mendelsohn and Vince Colosimo will star opposite …Read the Rest

Really not dead

It's been a long time since I listened to an album so consistently from end to end, but the new offering from P!nk certainly has my attention. I have loved P!nk since her debut as a sassy, sneering pop tartlet with the track "There you go", a track with pop …Read the Rest

Adam & Andy – Washing Machine as porn

"Adam and Andy" is one of my favourite comics. Its not particularly complex, but there is something charming and delightful about it. This is one of my favorite strips. There are some people in the world, and I am not mentioning any names here, find washing machines to be mesmerising …Read the Rest

Mission Impossible 3

Meh. What can I say abnout MI3 – Explosions, base jumping and insane rock climbing maneuvers, Tom Cruise looking tense and "cool" (ruined by him running like a spaz). All pretty standard. I am not going into detail on this one.   Basically unless you are a big fan of …Read the Rest

Adam and Andy

Some have criticised these guys as being the "Family Circus" of gay comics, but to be honest I really like them. Adam and Andy represent a less frantic, less driven gay life that does not get focused on very often. Gay men don't have to be fit and fabulous, living …Read the Rest
